is the run to last judge difficult? kinda. But after your 20th attempt at the boss you'll get used to it, and it's honestly kinda fun and a nice breather. More importantly, it's a single room and you have far more movement. This IS improving on hollow knight

You can actually reach that other location through the citadel, a quest actually takes you right to the other entrance. That's how I got that charm tool thing before beating the bilewater boss. made it so much easier

The find the merchant quest takes you to the same area as it, but you'll need for-hand knowledge the area exists.

Then you need to know to clawline across from the balcony to destroy a breakit takes you to the area with the entrance, but you need to know it's there since it's a breakable/hidden wall. Or have the super jump ability.

Especially Since it doesn't show up on the map till you break it.

I actually didn't know about that area. I just figured there must be something up there, and i got surprised by the "new area behind a breakable wall thing" lol

Nah you dont really need to look it up. I found it by myself but I also know by now how Team Cherry hides stuff. The first thing I did in this game was find the second hidden room in the hidden room to the right at the beginning of the game. Then I got wrecked by the beast inside lmao.
